Donald Trump’s campaign donation website, hosted on WinRed, temporarily went down after a New York jury found him guilty on May 30, 2024. Futurism reported the campaign blamed a surge of donations and said the site was working again about an hour after the outage began, though the report did not give exact times or independently verify traffic or fundraising figures.
Which donation page went down?
The affected page was Donald Trump’s campaign donation website, hosted on WinRed. Futurism reported that it crashed within about an hour of the May 30, 2024 verdict and was working again roughly an hour later. The report describes a temporary disruption, not a precise incident timeline: it gives no exact start or restoration time. Futurism, May 31, 2024
What did the campaign say caused the outage?
In a post on X quoted by Futurism, the campaign said: “So many Americans were moved to donate to President Trump’s campaign that the WinRed pages went down.” It also said it was working to get the website back online as quickly as possible.
Campaign spokesperson Brian Hughes separately described “record numbers of supporters” reaching the digital fundraising system and said the traffic was causing intermittent delays. Those statements are the campaign’s explanation; the report does not supply independent measurements confirming the volume of visitors, donations, or transactions.
